Sending emails

[carnel yve]

I have been slowly learning how zotonic works and couldn't get email to work locally.

My emails are bouncing. I am sure there is a trick for make mail servers to accept emails sent from zotonic. Just couldn't find. I thought about adding the " email_from" configuration to the zotonic_site.config, but it didn't change anything.

Any idea how to get email sending work?

Thanks.

Hi,

In the zotonic.config there are these settings:

%%% SMTP outbound relay configuration.

%%% Zotonic will send email itself, enable a relay if outgoing port 25 traffic is blocked.

   %% {smtp_relay, false},

   %% {smtp_host, "localhost"},

   %% {smtp_port, 25},

   %% {smtp_ssl, false},

   %% {smtp_username, undefined},

   %% {smtp_password, undefined},

%%% SMTP send all email into a blackhole, ideal for testing large mailings

   %% {smtp_is_blackhole, false},

%%% SMTP extra relay options:

%%% some picky/buggy/misconfigured relays might need one of these to be enabled.

   %% {smtp_no_mx_lookups, false},

   %% {smtp_verp_as_from, false},

   %% {smtp_bounce_email_override, "m...@example.com"},

%%% SMTP mail queue.

%%% How long to keep sent messages in the mail queue (in minutes).

%%% Leave it long enough to receive any bounce message.

   %% {smtp_delete_sent_after, 240},

%%% SMTP debug options.

%%% Send a copy of outgoing mail to this address:

   %% {smtp_bcc, "bcc@localhost"},

%%% Send all mail to this address instead of the original recipient:

   %% {email_override, "override@localhost"},

I have them on my dev machine as follows (with some redacted secrets):

%%% SMTP outbound relay configuration.

%{smtp_is_blackhole, true},

{smtp_relay,true},

{smtp_host,”smtp.myisp.nl"},

{smtp_port,587},

{smtp_username, “m.wo...@myisp.nl"},

{smtp_password, “…."},

   %% {smtp_ssl, true},

%%% SMTP extra relay options:

%%% some picky/buggy/misconfigured relays might need one of these to be enabled.

{smtp_no_mx_lookups,true},

{smtp_verp_as_from,true},

{smtp_bounce_email_override,"ma...@worrell.nl"},

%%% SMTP mail queue.

%%% How long to keep sent messages in the mail queue (in minutes).

%%% Leave it long enough to receive any bounce message.

   %% {smtp_delete_sent_after, 240},

%%% SMTP debug options.

%%% Send a copy of outgoing mail to this address:

   %% {smtp_bcc, "bcc@localhost"},

%%% Send all mail to this address instead of the original recipient:

   %% {email_override, "override@localhost"},

{email_override, "ma...@worrell.nl"},
